DVD problem with component cables
Hi,
I have been wathing my DVDs fine with 3 A/V cables (new pioneer DVD player & new Panasonic HD TV). I decided to try component cables to replace the video cable. Picture quality is great but found 2 problems: 1) red & green are too strong / vivid, even if reducing the amount of colour. 2) I cannot now change the aspect ratio. Always 16:9 even if the dvd playing is not. I even tried using 3 extra A/V cables (red, white, yellow) instead of the component cables, but plugged into the component jacks) but still the same. I also set the DVD to both interlaced & progressive but still the same problems. Going back just the standard 3 A/V cables fixes both problems. Why is chaning to component doing this? thanks |
Your TV probably needs separate calibration for each input type. Buy a disc like Avia or Digital Video Essentials to properly set your color and tint.
Some TVs automatically lock into 16:9 mode when they receive a progressive 480p signal. This is a design flaw in the set. If yours is like that, switching down to interlaced 480i and it should allow you to change the aspect ratio again. |
I haven't heard of this before. How do discs like Digital video essentials work?
Regarding progressive, I tried setting the DVD player back to Interlaced (which it did successfully), but I still couldn't change the aspect ratio. I don't think there is such an option on my TV. regards |
